Losing Nelson is a novel of obsession, the story of Charles Cleasby, a man unable to see himself separately from the hero--Lord Horatio Nelson--he mistakenly idolizes. He is, in fact, a Nelson biographer run amok. He is convinced that Nelson, Britain's greatest admiral, who lost his own life defeating Napoleon in the Battle of Trafalgar, is the perfect hero. However, in his research he has come upon an incident of horrifying brutality in Nelson's military career that simply stumps all attempts at glorification. "Books about the sea and those who sail it are much in vogue. This seems to have been set off by the surprising and much deserved popularity of Sebastian Junger's The Perfect Storm, not to mention the Aubrey/Maturin novels of Patrick O'Brian. . . . Losing Nelson is] the best book of the lot."--Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post Book World (1999 Critic's Choice). A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 1999; A New York Times Notable Book of 1999.

Strong, absorbent and a good price!
Package Size Name: XXL, Size: 150 sheet (Pack of 12)
These are good paper towels. Not thin at all. Strong, absorbent and capable of cleaning as well as the 'name' brand paper towels but at a much better price. I'm happy with them.

Works well
Package Size Name: XXL, Size: 150 sheet (Pack of 12)
There is nothing special about this product but it works fine. The only thing is that the paper towels are rough and thin, rather than a thick and soft. They fit perfectly on our paper towel rack so that’s nice. I recommend this product if you don’t care how your paper towels feel.

Ehh.. Not bad but not great…
Package Size Name: XXL, Size: 150 sheet (Pack of 12)
The price point on these paper towels is pretty good, but you are definitely getting what you pay for. The quality is not that great in my opinion. They are very thin and not the most absorbent. So, if you prefer a thicker and more absorbent paper towel, I’d probably suggest another option.

Wash Your Hands!
Package Size Name: XXL, Size: 150 sheet (Pack of 12)
Great deal for the quality of these paper towels! We order them from Amazon for the office every time! They're the perfect size for use in the bathrooms or the kitchen area, so very versatile. They are very soft paper towels and absorb moisture easily.

Thin and scratchy
Package Size Name: XXL, Size: 150 sheet (Pack of 12)
Unbelievably thin, brittle and terrible quality. Couldn’t wait to use them up. Like trying to sop up spills with a saltine cracker. Might consider these at half the listed price but for the incremental cost difference, actual quality paper towels are worth it to me. Lesson learned.
